[归纳用法]
一、v.ing形式作定语
1.单个动词的ing形式作定语位于被修饰名词的前面,既可以表示被修饰者的作用或功能,也可以表示被修饰者的动作或状态。
(1)说明被修饰名词的用途和性能。
building materials=materials for building建筑材料
a reading room=a room for reading阅览室
(2)表示所修饰的人或物的动作或状态,在意思上接近一个定语从句,可以表示正在进行的动作,也可表示经常性动作或当时的状态。
a puzzling problem=a problem that puzzles somebody
一个困扰人的问题
a surprising result=a result that is surprising
一个惊人的结果
developing countries=countries that are developing
发展中国家
2.v.ing形式短语作定语时,放在所修饰的名词之后,并且在意思上相当于一个定语从句。
(1)They lived in a room facing the street.
=They lived in a room that faces the street.
他们住在一间面朝街的房子。
(2)The man standing there is Peter's father.
=The man who is standing there is Peter's father.
站在那儿的那个人是彼得的父亲。
3.v.ing形式短语也可以用作非限制定语,相当于一个非限制性定语从句,这时,它与句子其他部分用逗号分开。
(1)The apple tree, swaying gently in the breeze, had a good crop of fruit.
=The apple tree, which was swaying gently in the breeze, had a good crop of fruit.
那棵苹果树硕果累累,在微风中轻轻摇曳。
(2)His brother, working as a teacher, lives in Beijing.
=His brother, who is working as a teacher,lives in Beijing.
他的哥哥住在北京,是个老师。
[提示] 有些情况下,动词的ing形式不能用来作定语,必须使用定语从句。
作定语的v.ing形式表示的动作要与主句谓语的动作同时发生,如两者不能同时发生的话,则需使用定语从句。
[误]The professor coming here yesterday will give us a lecture.
[正]The professor who came here yesterday will give us a lecture.
昨天来的教授将要给我们做一个讲座。
动词ing形式的完成式一般只用作状语,不作定语。
[误]The temple having been destroyed by the earthquake will be rebuilt soon.
[正]The temple(which has been)destroyed by the earthquake will be rebuilt soon.
represent的用法
被地震毁坏的庙宇很快就要重建了。
二、v.ing形式作表语
v.ing形式作表语可分为两种情况:现在分词和动名词。现在分词作表语主要表示主语的性质和特征,而动名词作表语则主要是对主语内容的进一步说明和解释。
My job is interesting.我的工作很有趣。
My job is teaching.我的工作是教书。
[提示] 现在分词和动名词作表语时的区别:第一句中的interesting为现在分词,它表示“工作”的特征;第二句中的teaching为动名词,它是对“工作”内容的进一步说明。正因为如此,动名词作表语时可与主语交换位置,而现在分词作表语则不可与主语交换位置。
误:Interesting is my job.
正:Teaching is my job.
